    Yes, there is a lot that won't run on a Power PC processor, and browsers are dropping support of it too.

    Everymac is pretty accurate with things like this.

    It says:

    Pre-Installed MacOS: X 10.3.7 (7T11) Maximum MacOS: X 10.5.8

    Details: This system cannot run versions of MacOS X more recent than 10.5.8.

    10.5.8 is Leopard. 10.6.8 is Snow Leopard which will require an Intel processor hence the G4 cannot run anything above 10.5.8
